Who, O God, my guide shall be? Who shall lead thy child to

thee? A-MEN.

3 Thus in deed, and thought, and word,
Led by Jesus Christ the Lord,

In my weakness, thus shall I
Learn to live and learn to die:

4 Learn to live in peace and love,
Like the perfect ones above;
Learn to die without a fear,
Feeling thee, my Father, near.

I Fount of everlasting love,

Rich thy streams of mercy are,
Flowing purely from above;

Beauty marks their course afar!

2 Lo, thy Church, athirst and faint,
Drinks the full, refreshing tide!
Thou hast heard her sad complaint:
Floods of grace are sweeping wide!

3 God of mercy, to thy throne

Now our fervent thanks we bring;
Thine the glory, thine alone!
Joyous praise to thee we sing.

4 While we lift our grateful song,
Let thy Spirit still descend,
Roll the tide of grace along,
Widening, deepening, to the end!

Rev. Wm. Henry Furness, D.D.

and tears and faith al- lied, And suffering and song. A-MEN.

2 The vast democracy of earth,
The fellowship of man
Who asketh any nobler birth

Than son to human clan ?

3 The common lot of human kind,
Its gladness and its woe,

1. At length there dawns the glorious day By proph-ets long fore told; .

The day of growing brother - hood Breaks on our

And hu man hatreds flee

before The radiant Eastern skies. A-MEN.

2 For what are sundering strains of blood, Or ancient caste and creed?

One claim unites all men in God
To serve each human need.
Then here together, brother men,
We pledge the Lord anew
Our loyal love, our stalwart faith,
Our service strong and true.

3 One common faith unites us all,
We seek one common goal,
One tender comfort broods upon
The struggling human soul.
To this clear call of brotherhood
Our hearts responsive ring;
We join the glorious new crusade
Of our great Lord and King.
